My fourth year searching for them and i finally found a place! Few hundred feet off the trail and there it was among the mayapple and waterleaf, i could hardly believe it. Tree ID is HARD and i don’t have any tips on that front but i don’t think there were any elms around because the (lack of) canopy in the area didn’t show any sign of flowers/buds. Ended up with 9 ounces and i left some tiny ones behind that still seemed healthy enough to keep growing.

Shout out to the curious deer that patiently led me right to the spot.

    Oh yeah that’s huge! I’ve read they take a week or two to grow from when they first pop up and average morel season (at least in the midwest) has about a month left so your spot might even have more to offer this year possum-party
